RELATED APPLICATION

The present disclosure is a continuation-in-part application of U.S.patent application Ser. No. 15/874,441 entitled “VEHICLE STABILIZERAND/OR LEVELER SPACER” by Ryan B. Andersen filed on Jan. 18, 2018, whichis hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The embodiments described herein relate to a vehicle stabilizer and/orleveler (hereinafter referred to as a leveler) spacer and method ofusing the vehicle leveler spacer. The spacer may be selectively attachedto a retracted leveler of a vehicle, such as a trailer or motor home, toat least partially support the vehicle upon extension of the leveler tothe ground or support surface.

BACKGROUND Description of the Related Art

Various vehicles include a system of stabilizers and/or levelers(hereinafter referred to as a leveler) that may be selectively loweredto level and/or support the vehicle. For example, recreational vehicles,such as motor homes and fifth wheels, typically have a set of levelerspositioned around the perimeter of the vehicle. When the motor home orfifth wheel is stopped at a location, the levelers are extended toengage the ground, or supporting structure, such as a driveway, toprovide support to the vehicle. Additionally, the levelers may be usedto level the vehicle.

In some instances, blocks may be positioned on the ground below theretracted levelers. The blocks may be used to shorten the distance eachleveler needs to extend to the ground and/or may be used in the instancethat the ground or supporting structure is not level. Although it isintended to align the block with an extended leveler, it may benecessary to adjust the block as the leveler is extended. Suchadjustment may potentially be unsafe if a hand or finger isinadvertently placed between the block and the leveler, as the levelerextends. Additionally, the vehicle may include a system that extends thelevelers at the same time or in rapid succession, which may make itdifficult to ensure all of the blocks align with a leveler as thelevelers on the vehicle extend to engage the blocks.

Other disadvantages may exist.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a vehicle leveler spacer 100, alsoreferred to as a spacer. The spacer 100 may be used to provide supportbetween a leveler 20 (shown in FIG. 3) of a vehicle, such as trailer 10(shown in FIG. 3), and a supporting surface, such as the ground, asdiscussed herein. The spacer 100 includes a top surface 110 that isenclosed by a rim, or ridge, 115 along the perimeter of the top surface110 that extends from the top surface 110. The rim 115 is configured toretain a pad 25 (shown in FIG. 3) of a leveler 20, as would beappreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit ofthis disclosure. In other words, the rim 115 may be configured toprevent the pad 25 of a leveler 20 from sliding off the top surface 110of the spacer 100.

The spacer 100 includes a sidewall 140 that connects the top surface 110to a bottom portion 150 of the spacer 100. The bottom portion 150 of thespacer 100 may be formed as a flange or rim that extends outward awayfrom the sidewall 140, as shown in FIG. 1. The top surface 110, rim 115,sidewall 140, and bottom portion 150 are shown as circular in shape forillustrative purposes, and the shape, size, and/or configuration of thetop surface 110, rim 115, sidewall 140, and/or bottom portion 150 may bevaried depending on the application as would be appreciated by one ofordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure. Thespacer 100 may include a depression or recessed surface 120 in the topsurface 110. A rim or ridge 125 along the depression 120 may beconfigured to retain a portion of a leveler within the recess ordepression 120.

The spacer 100 may be configured to reduce the distance that the leveler20 has to extend to the ground or supporting surface while stillproviding stability to the vehicle. Reducing the travel distance of theleveler 20 may help to reduce the wear on the leveler 20 due to repeateduse. Thus, the sidewall 140 of the spacer 100 should be configured tohave a length that reduces the travel of the leveler by a significantamount, such as by at least 20%. In some embodiments, the length of thesidewall 140 of the spacer 100 may be configured to reduce the travel ofthe leveler by more than 20%. The sidewall 140 of the spacer 100 mayhave a length of approximately eight (8) inches to reduce the travel ofthe leveler 20 while still providing stability to the vehicle. In someembodiments, the length of the sidewall 140 may be at least two (2)inches or more. A sidewall 140 having a length of less than two (2)inches may not adequately reduce the travel of the leveler. In someembodiments, the length of the sidewall 140 may be greater than eight(8) inches. The length of the sidewall 140 of the spacer 100 may bevaried depending on the application as would be appreciated by one ofordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure.

The length of the sidewall 140 of the spacer 100 may include thedistance that the rim, or ridge, 115 extends from the top surface 110.In order to provide adequate stability to the vehicle while adequatelyreducing the travel of the leveler 20, the overall length of thesidewall 140 should be much larger than the distance that the rim, orridge, 115 extends from the top surface 110. For example, in anembodiment the length of the sidewall 140 may be five (5) times longerthan the distance that the rim, or ridge, 115 extends from the topsurface 110. In another example, the length of the sidewall 140 may bemore than ten (10) times longer than the distance that the rim, orridge, 115 extends from the top surface 110. In another embodiment, thedistance that the rim, or ridge, 115 extends from the top surface 110may be less than ½ (0.5) of an inch whereas the length of the sidewall140 may be approximately eight (8) inches.

The spacer 100 includes at least one connector configured to selectivelyattach or connect the spacer 100 to a retracted vehicle leveler, such asa trailer leveler 20 (shown in FIG. 3).
